Price History
Description
Defined by sculptural form and functional elegance, Uyuni Lighting’s Upside Down Lantern brings contemporary simplicity to any setting. Crafted from powder-coated iron, their refined silhouette creates a striking frame for candlelight, enhancing spaces with strength and sophistication. Designed for versatility, they transition seamlessly from indoor settings to open-air evenings, standing gracefully on terraces, illuminating pathways, or hanging among garden foliage to cast a soft, ambient glow.
Our Stylist Says
I love the upside down lantern for its sleek, modern silhouette that adds an architectural touch to a variety of interiors. It works particularly well in minimalist or contemporary schemes, where its bold black metal design provides a striking contrast against neutral backgrounds. Practical styling tips include placing it on a mantle or side table as a statement piece, or hanging it in an outdoor balcony or garden space for ambient evening lighting. Its versatile shape makes it easy to pair with other metallic accents or natural textures, and it looks especially eye-catching when used with pillar or taper candles to create a cosy, inviting atmosphere.

About Heal's
A Rich Legacy in Furniture Design
Heal's is a well-known British furniture store with a history that spans over 200 years. It began in 1810 when John Harris Heal and his son started a business for feather products but soon moved into furniture.
By the 1900s, almost everyone in London knew Heal's for its great furniture. Interestingly, they were also among the first to sell electric lights in Britain. During World War II, their main store even helped by making parachutes for soldiers.
Influences and Design Philosophy
A significant part of Heal's story is Sir Ambrose Heal, who worked there for 60 years, from 1893 to 1953. He had a unique idea combine the beautiful designs from the Arts and Crafts Movement with affordable manufacturing.
This meant more people could buy well-designed furniture without breaking the bank. If you visit the Heal's store on Tottenham Court Road in London, you'll see a cool spiral staircase and a statue of a bronze cat, both of which show off the company's unique style.
Modern Expansion and Growth
While Heal's has a long history, they're always looking forward. In 2001, a company named Wittington Investments bought Heal's, helping it to grow and open stores in many cities, including Manchester and Leeds.
They've also started selling products online, aiming to be a modern e-commerce store with physical showrooms. Their main Tottenham Court Road store celebrated 200 years in 2018. Recently, they revamped it, making it even better for shoppers.
